    Helpful tips for making this healthy banana split recipe

    • Use a sharp paring knife to cut the banana so it makes a clean cut and doesn't get mushy when slicing.
    • Be sure to melt the almond butter in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Depending on the consistency of your almond butter, it may need to be melted for an additional 15 seconds. Stir between each heating, and do not heat longer than 1 minute to avoid ruining the almond butter.
    • Feel free to use other fruits and toppings on hand.

    Health benefits and nutrition facts about this healthy banana splits

    As a certified holistic nutritionist and herbalist, it's my goal to help you feel satisfied and happy with your food choices, while nourishing your body. The ingredients in this recipe are the perfect example. And here is why:

    • Bananas are a great source of fiber, vitamin B6, potassium and other nutrients and minerals (source).
    • Greek yogurt contains 24 grams of protein in one ¾ cup serving. Protein is a nutrient that keeps our bodies feeling full longer, and helps burn fat and build muscle (source). Make sure to use plain Greek yogurt to avoid excess added sugars.
    • Strawberries and blueberries contain ample amounts of anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant which supports the body's ability to protect from harmful free radicals and lower oxidative stress. (source)
    • Refined sugar is clinically proven to be a harmful and highly addictive substance, with side effects ranging from mood disorders, sleep disruption, and imbalanced gut flora (source). Which is why our family opts for healthy and simple snacks and toppings like Bare Snacks strawberry banana chips. They have a range of dried fruit chips. We add them to recipes like my 5-star rated easy banana overnight oats and healthy berry crisp, in addition to this healthy banana split. They are also delicious on their own as an after school snack.
    • Almond butter is a great plant-based source of protein, and adds a great texture and flavor to top of the snack!
